Content

We're joined this week by Dipo Faloyin, a journalist, senior editor at VICE and the author of "Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa".  In this episode, we talk about the legacy of Kony 2012 - one of the first 'super viral' social media campaigns, and the ways that it impacted the economies and societies of a number of countries in Africa. We also talk about the nihilism that emerged out of the failures of Kony 2012, and the ways they shape how we understand the modern internet, and, crucially, why we seem to have so little faith in it anymore.

I’ll explain NYC versus London like this: you don’t have the NHS (though there are municipal hospitals), but your shitty apartment will probably be rent stabilized (AKA you’ll have assured tenancy). Also after just one summer in NYC you’ll be nostalgic for Britain’s perpetual greyness. I hope you like 30° with >80° humidity! One last thing is that aside from maintenance closures almost all trains here run 24/7, so you won’t have to spend $75 on a taxi home at 3am.

Actually ONE MORE THING: if you’re trans they give you HRT basically at the drop of a hat.

The odd thing with Kony 2012 for me is not that I memory-holed it but rather that I was inactive enough on Facebook at the time that I didn’t find out about it until years after the fact.
